Centering Justice in Health Professions Education by Owning Limitations of Anti-Bias Checklists.

This article argues that, although efforts to integrate checklists for assessing bias in educational content represent a sincere effort to address or mitigate harm, such efforts will likely have limited (if any) impact on curricular reform or the actual lived experiences of minoritized students. This is because checklists are not designed for justice-oriented assessment and thus will not create the kind of change needed to transform health professions, especially medical education. What is needed is more attention to the ways whiteness is used to organize health professions education and a deep commitment to faculty development focused on raising educators' critical consciousness.
